In the instructions it is written to upload photo with 140 x 110 pixel height and width and for sign 110 x 140 height and width, but in the site it is written just 140 x 110 pixels regarding dimensions - nothing specific. Confused what to do? Please suggest.

----I wonder who is sitting behind the computer! An official body is supposed to give a reply which should at least look official in its tone.

>:P

Yaar Partho, nothing wrong in this....Just imagine their situation of handling many emails and queries everyday! Even in corporate culture, it is always recommended to write short emails focused on the necessary information only.

@vijay_45 Thats right. My reply (overloaded with work) to the query that I had sent would be:

Application Status: Accepted.Center: Mumbai

Anyways, only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches! :O

I also got the reply from UPSC --It readsno need to worry. Yr application has been registered at upsc. yr centre opted is ***** and you have applied for both CSP and IFS....

I did not provide my DOB in the email, just to ensure that the person does not use 'view/print application' tab of upsconline.nic.in. (which we can also use). It seems the person is using collecting these details from their internal server of records.

Friend of mine entered the journal number including the leading zeros. Instruction manual asked to drop any preceding zeros and enter the last 7-8 digits beyond the zeros. Application was still accepted and email confirmation was sent.

Called the UPSC helpline 011-2338-5271 to clarify. The guy said, "Le liya hai? Confirmation aa gaya hai na? To phir thik hai..." (Has the system accepted? Got the confirmation? Then its alright.)

But, guys, do not take the chance. Read the instruction manual carefully. Lots of pitfalls.

The number that the bank writes on your cash payment voucher. It's also called the "transaction id." Usually begins with a series of alphabets or just with zeros. We are supposed to enter the part beyond the leading zeros:

"If paying by cash, fresh window opens wherein TRANSACTION Id given by the State Bank of India and Date of Transaction is to be filled in. TheTRANSACTION Id given by the BANK is to be a SEVEN OR EIGHT DIGIT NUMERIC CHARACTER, which is to be filled in the Transaction-Id field.· Considering the All India spread of the SBI there is a possibility of writing of Transaction ID on the Pay-in-slip by the bank staff variously as TId - 0012121212OR J - 0012121212 OR 0012121212 etc. if in eight digits OR AS TId - 001212121 OR J - 001212121 OR 001212121 etc if in seven digits. CANDIDATESARE REQUESTED TO FILL IN ONLY THE LAST 7 OR 8 DIGITS AS THE CASE MAY BE, DROPPING OUT ANY ALPHABET, SPECIALCHARACTER OR PREFIXED ZEROES. In above two cases fill in Transaction Id as 12121212 OR 1212121.· After filling in Transaction Id and Date of Transaction Click CONTINUE. A fresh page opens indicating payment details filled in. After verification ClickSUBMIT. Fresh page opens intimating submission of payment details and prompting to PROCEED to complete uploading of Photo and Signature."
